CADZILA! The Sequel

Yeah, but on my Fleetwoods and wagons, they're so low and the tires are usually so wide that you can't fit a sponge up there, nevermind your hand or fingers!

I was going to hire that Burger King guy with the small hands to clean my tires, but he could not get his hands in there either.

All cleaned up


With HIDs in the day time.

Very nice!

Needs whitewalls. Bad!

WIDE whites.

We've seen enough white walls already. Let Billy throw some SS rims on that bitch. Get some Cadillac emblems for the center caps and stock size rubber, he's all set. Put some SS springs in it and set sail for the gas pumps. But this Exxon valdes whale ain't here to deliver, its here to suck it up dry.

I'd try cutting wide whites into those tires just for the hell of it!

Agreed, needs white tires.

I remove my skirts to help with cleaning the rear tires.

Can you photoshop some wide whites for me Tim. I might consider it if I could see it against my color.

wide whites ......... the aluminium rims are throwing it off.... needs to be chrome, or SS rims, caprice lace wheels

I'm just saying that a FIFTEEN inch tire requires a whitewall on a Fleetwood. I'm sure you can all agree with that.

Any bigger, such as a 17" Impala wheel with caddy centers, and blackwalls are just fine.

But it would be pretty damn cool to free the wide wides from behind those RWL's on a performance tire!

Agreed...I don't think the wheels are throwing anything off either, they're original to the car and correct no? Seem to be in good shape too.

I do like blackwall 15" tires on bright chrome wheels like Cragar SS and stuff...looks clean

Know what might look awesome? SS wheels, caddy centers, with some kind of 17" Diamondback tires thin white stripe tire...

You can get a Michelin energy LX4 or a Cooper CS4 touring in a 225/60r17 with narrow white wall.



They're not cheap.

See, those just make me think, "whats the point!?" I would personally do the condiment special with Tim's vouges!

I am thinking about getting some steelies, and go blackwall with full moon caps like these.

Tell me about it. We had the Michelins on our DeVille for awhile. Were stupid expensive. Also, Goodyear also makes a whitewall. It's the Eagle LS iirc. However, afaik it's only for Caddy commercial chassis wheels. Our limo and hearse have them and we had to order them from a livery car company.

Crazy. It doesn't seem like that long ago that an inexpensive blackwall meant getting a whitewall mounted backwards.

Some pics of the car today. Thanks to Bill for the seats, and Mike for delivering them. You guys rock!

It is now a Pontichevillac.



LT1 with the Mafia chip.

You could try A-body front springs.

Sorry I couldn't stick around to help get them in. Glad you beat the rain

That boat could use some scrubbing in the engine room!

Uh... Yeah.

Anyways, glad you got the seats! Betcha they're comfy! I miss those emmer effers!

I vote for these



IMO, the ones you posted don't really flow with this car.

What color is your interior, is it the same as mine?

Or from a 65...

If you go with old school caps like what crovo posted, white walls are an absolute necessity.

The ones Crovo posted would look pretty awesome...w/cut in wide whites...

Another something came in the mail. I will give you a hint, it is the shiny thing. But if you have ADD, you stopped reading ten seconds ago.


Do you think I need a water pump.

I am so loving this car. It needs a tuneup bad, but still has some sack. I just found out the cd changer in the trunk works.

I may have to keep this one. Or not.

I have a plate you can use... It never even made it ONTO mine!



(Sorry, guess I never took a pic of the actul plate) lol!

I am still pissed off that "CADZILA" is now taken. I might try "CHVOLAC"

a guy in Rochester has CADZILA on his 54' chop top caddy

^^Chris, that car deserves that plate!

Or the middle one in your sig!

Excellent progress Bill, now you need to :

Lower it, remove the bumperettes, clear corner mod, tune-up, water-pump, gears, S-10 converter, exhaust, ecm reprogram............then let me know when you want to sell it

Get away from me!


The old girl passed inspection today. Boy it is nice to have such a clean car.

Now I have to get all the work done it needs plus a vacuum leak behind the dash, and figure out why the t/c off switch doesn't work.

Oh, and for the record... DIBS!

CL add ....

I'd install a '94 9C1 stock tune for you. Of course that would require that you drive the car dangerously close to two people that have called DIBS.

How about the plate:

GRNWTNV : green with envy

GRNDRGN: green dragon

GREMLIN

GOBLIN
GRNGBLN: green goblin

LEANGRN: lean green

How about a single S? And later you draw two lines through it with a sharpie ($)
Better yet two SS ($$)

GRNLTNG : green lightning

INCRHLK : incredible hulk

Not to get off subject, but does that say "IPASS" In the middle of the plate?

Billy Mac, How about , CADZ1LA? Yes, THAT IS A "1" between the Z & the L

Idk about NH but the rule for vanity plates in MA is no numbers in the middle of the plate. Numbers must be at the beginning or end.

I tried to get "EVIL" a few years ago. No dice! So I tried "EV1L"......NOPE!!!!! against the law.

Get LIVE. So when people look in the rear view they see the REAL side of the car.

Good thinking guys....1 flaw in your logic.

Why would anyone see Bill M in thier REARview mirror?

I would get "CADZLLA". That's legal, isn't it?

Cadzila is my plate! Only me and Boyd get to use that plate. And he is dead !

I abandon it for 6 years and someone thinks they can just be Cadzilla? Wrong.

Bonnies and Blazer. This car is a real Pontichevolac.
Note to self. Got to get interior cleaned.



Father and son reunion.
